Hover on the arrows to learn more about quality of life factors affecting warriors.
Mental Health
More than 6 in 10 warriors report having one or more mental health conditions — anxiety (80%), depression (77%), and PTSD (77%) remain the top mental health issues. Reducing mental health conditions can have a positive impact on WWP warriors' quality of life.
Physical Wellness
Sleep quality is one of the strongest indicators of overall well-being, yet 82% of WWP warriors report sleep problems. Good sleep quality can have a positive impact on WWP warriors' quality of life. Additionally, obesity continues to be a concern because of the negative associations between obesity and quality of life.
Financial Wellness
Wounded warriors face an unemployment rate three times higher than the general veteran population, meaning their jobs do not match their skills and experience, or opportunities are limited due to service-connected injuries. Employment gives WWP warriors purpose and helps build confidence and financial stability.
Social Connection
Nearly 80% of warriors struggle with loneliness, making it harder to build meaningful connections after service. A sense of connectedness can have a positive impact on WWP warriors' quality of life.
Spiritual Well-Being
Hardship reveals strength. More than a quarter (27%) discovered they are stronger than they ever thought possible, proving that growth comes from adversity. Overcoming traumatic experiences helps warriors face challenges and enhance their quality of life.
